Did my first practice run on Maxxis Minions and I was sliding all over the place trying to find traction. Did two practice runs on Friday and seeding was the next day. The track conditions were similar in seeding, muddy and slippery in most places. Had a very conservative seeding run and managed a time of 2.05, 3 seconds off first place. For finals I knew where I had to pick up the pace and pedaled where I could to make up time. My goal after seeding was to squeeze under the 2.00 mark. I decided to swap my tyres and put on some cut Maxxis Wetscreams, hoping it could hold on the off camber sections. I didn't manage to get a clean final run, one big mistake during my run. Came in too hot into the last rock section, reached the bottom and couldn't brake in time, managed to get the bike sideways in time for the corner but the bike was still drifting away and came to a stop, I had to pick up the bike again and pedaled of as hard as i could and managed a time of 1.57 which put me in 1st place (7 seconds ahead of 2nd place). Happy with the win definitely, but could have done better nonetheless. It was a good race definitely, good track, just a little pedaly on the top sections.
